Cool, thanks!
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
There's a collection - Westward Weird - that has the story of how Verity's grandparents met. It's called "The Flower of Arizona" (the mice are also in it - HAIL).

I liked Discount Armageddon a lot. It's lighter than the Toby Daye books - more humor and, to me, it felt like less of a world-ending crisis. LOVE the mice.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I think that's because writing InCryptid is how Seanan recovers from writing Toby; the books take so much out of her.
LOVE the mice.
Everyone loves the mice. It is impossible not to!
At the book release party, someone asked about the mice, and she said that she could only use the mice in small doses because if you look at them too long, they actually become incredibly sad, since their entire existence is essentially recounting past tragedies and reliving the horrors year after year. Sure, they do the happy things too, but still.

But they have celebrations every day! she feeds them yummy food! and they're mice living in a fairly protected environment (no cats, no traps) with people who work with their rituals.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The Feast of I Swear, Daddy, I Will Kiss The Next Man That Walks Through That Door seems like a pretty cool feast. Depending on the man, I suppose.

Oh yeah, but there's also The Song of the Night So-and-so Walked into the Forest and Never Returned and such. It was an interesting and sad way to look at them, for sure. But I prefer to just embrace the HAIL! and CHEESE AND CAKE and hope they make it through the depressing days okay.

And the ritual of exchanging food for privacy doesn't exactly suck (unless that's how you eat the proffered food).

I finished A Tale of Two Cities yesterday and now all I can think about is whether there is any Sydney Carton fanfic. Help.
